Background

New Republic Pictures is an American production company and independent financier of feature films and television founded by Brian Oliver in 2017. The company has a first-look co-financing and distribution deal with Paramount Pictures since May 2018. In December 2019, Bradley J. Fischer was tapped as president and CCO, whom him and Oliver will produce all film, TV and streaming projects. In June 2020, Cate Blanchett and her Dirty Films company signed a deal with the studio, and was followed up by a deal with Jake Gyllenhaal and his Nine Stories Productions company on August 4 of that same year.

Logo (May 31, 2019-)


Visuals: On a cloudy sky background, a plane flies in over the logo. Two more then appear as the camera pans toward the action, while the planes move through the sky. Smoke then appears, revealing that it is on a city skyline. Three more planes move toward the logo, and settle to the center, and we see several searchlights. There are a total of seven airplanes, turning right and flying up to the sky. The camera zooms out into a box on a black background, revealing "NEW REPUBLIC" below the box, with a line and the word "PICTURES" in spaced-out letters.

Variant:

  • A still version of this logo exists.
  • On Ambulance (2022), only the company name is shown and appears forming from blue and red sirens, like police lights.

Technique: CGI by Elastic, who also did the 2022 Blumhouse Productions logo. Some concept storyboards can be found here.

Audio: The sound of an airplane engine and an alarm, or the opening theme of the film. The still version has a thud sound.

Availability: First seen on Rocketman, and later seen on 1917, Coming 2 America, Without Remorse, Infinite, the end of Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021), Ambulance and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Strangely, this logo was not seen on The Tomorrow War, despite the company being involved in that film.
